+Tips for Reading Scientific Literature
You cannot expect to read everything
Try to read articles that are Most interesting to you Most relevant to your and your groups research
No one has time to read all of the text. Read the abstract, intro, and try to discern major points from the figures and schemes.
Discuss what you have read with others
Always take note of the author and affiliation.
